I could easily fill this post with tons of movies that should be seen, however I think it waters down the true gems that deserve attention. Here are my top 3 films that need to be seen by movie fans and especially horror movie buffs...

OldBoy: "15 years forced in a cell, only 5 days given to seek revenge."



"An average man is kidnapped and imprisoned in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation. He then is released, equipped with money, a cellphone and expensive clothes. As he strives to explain his imprisonment and get his revenge, Oh Dae-Su soon finds out that his kidnapper has a greater plan for him and is set onto a path of pain and suffering in an attempt to uncover the motive of his mysterious tormentor."

I have yet to meet ANYONE that has watched this movie and not considered it Amazing. It's considered a Korean Crime Drama though elements of it are some of the best Horror work around. HIGHLY Recommended.


Martyrs: "They Did not Finish to Be Alive..."



"Fifteen years after a horrifying experience of abduction and prolonged torture, Lucie embarks on a bloody quest for revenge against her oppressors. Along with her childhood friend, Anna, who also suffered abuse, she quickly descends, without hope, into madness and her own delusions. Anna, left on her own begins to re-experience what Lucie did when she was only twelve years old."

DO NOT... I REPEAT.... DO NOT READ ABOUT THIS MOVIE! DO yourself a favor and do not read anything about this movie.. Rent it/Buy it and watch it. It's a French Horror film that was released in 2008, this is without a doubt one of the most terrifying Horror films of all time due to the thought that went into it and the startling realization that this could be occurring right now in your own town.


A Serbian Film aka Srpski Film: "Not all films have a happy ending."

Back in November, this film that had all the hype in the world called A Serbian Film was released. People wanted to see what the big deal of this film was, and were quite surprised. Not by the hype but it was missing the key scenes that people talked about. The Blu Ray sort of hinted at those scenes, but they also softened them up. This was the American Serbian Film, and people like me who witnessed this film in its full uncut glory were up in arms. Where is the big reveal, and the realistic orphan scene? They softened up the blow and made all of us critics who bragged about this film look stupid. Invincible Pictures decided to release this barebones version without even a cover. And this is the real deal, not only that but 3 extra minutes I have never witnessed before on any version I have seen. Forget special features, all you get is a digital copy and a blood soaked case. And you know what, that is all I truly need. So, finally this is the real review for the film that you guys know as A Serbian Film.

The Plot-A former porn star is lured back into the business by an offer he can’t refuse. What kind of porn movie does his director have in mind?

Review-Where do I start? This movie is meant to be a metaphor for what is happening in Serbia right now. I will say this; there are some images and scenes in this movie that are disturbing. The movie centers on Milos, a retired porn star. He is a happily married man, and father of a young son. He is realizing, he did not save as much money as he thought, and then comes the offer to star in a porn film and make a lot of money. He knows nothing about what the movie is about, or what he is needed for. When Vukmir( the director of this porn) enters, is when the movie starts that bizarre descent into something so fucked up, disgusting and disturbing. There are 2 scenes in this movie right now, I can name, that will divide the audience as to what is acceptable for a movie, and what should never be put to film. This movie is not here to entertain you. This movie is not here for you to get a good jump scare. This movie is here to disturb you. There are scenes in this movie, that you think its only a film, but where did the inspiration come from. Is this really happening in Serbia? The last 15 minutes of this movie, even though you may see it coming, you don’t fully expect how cold, cruel and far it goes. This movie is not for everyone, hell it may not be for anyone. This movie is original. And, by the end of this movie, you will either be really mad, or wanting to watch it again. This movie will not bore you, and it will not disappoint you. It may disgust you, and some people may write it off as a snuff movie or junk. Fuck them. This is why, people like me are horror fans, something to challenge me as a viewer, as a fan. A Serbian Film is for real and please if you are going to Americanize a film, do not fuck the fans of a awesome experience.

10 out of 10

This is the ONLY film that I will ever say that the viewer needs to go to wikipedia and read the plot details BEFORE viewing. This is it.. this is the pinnacle of gut wrenching, shock horror. There will NEVER be anything more controversial, depraved, and just plain sick then this film. Of the few people I've even admitted to have watching this film to, NONE of them have been able to watch it themselves. An AMAZINGLY well shot film with an Award winning soundtrack, this one is the stuff of Urban Legends. Not for the faint of heart, this one makes Hostel, Saw, Salo or 100 Days of Sodom, Irreversible, etc look like a Disney Film. Available in 3 versions and banned throughout the world, the only way to get the ful uncut version is via a DVD workprint available online. The UK Blu Ray has approximately 7 minutes of footage removed while the US has approx. 4 minutes removed. Even with the cuts the film will still suck the wind out of you. After my first viewing I was literally depressed for about a week afterwards... after my 2nd viewing I was depressed for another few days. For people who watch movies to "feel something" be it good, bad, sad, or anything in between, this film is like a kick in the gut and you will NEVER be the same after. HIGHLY Recommended if you have the stomach, but please read the wikipedia page first or you may not make it through the film.
